Fabric Automation

This repository contains Terraform configurations to automate the start and stop processes for Microsoft Fabric using Azure Automation Account and the Fabric API via azapi_resource.

Overview

Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises. This project aims to provide an automated solution for managing Fabric resources, focusing on start and stop operations. By leveraging Terraform, Azure Automation Account, and the Fabric API, we can efficiently manage these processes, potentially reducing costs and improving resource utilization.

Features

• Automated start and stop of Microsoft Fabric resources
• Utilizes Azure Automation Account for scheduling and execution
• Implements Terraform for infrastructure as code
• Leverages Fabric API (via azapi_resource) for Fabric-specific operations
• Modular structure for easy customization and expansion

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription
• Terraform installed
• Azure CLI installed and configured
• Appropriate permissions to create and manage Azure resources
